Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the rotini pasta and cook until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the hot buffalo wing sauce, toss thoroughly and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
- Add the diced celery, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion to the chicken and mix gently.
- Fold the cooled rotini pasta into the chicken and vegetable mixture, drizzle with blue cheese dressing and toss until coated.
- Gently incorporate crumbled blue cheese and parsley into the salad.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir before serving on a platter or in bowls.

Notes
Letting the salad chill enhances flavor; preparing it the day before elevates taste. Rinse rotini well after cooking to prevent sticking. Adjust buffalo sauce for more heat if desired.
